THEY VOTE THIS WEEK.

The 0. U. A. M.-The Proposed Change
 of Name.
 The National council of the Order of United American Mechanics has sent down to the subordinate councils throughout the country proposition to change somewhat the name of the order and vote thereon will be taken this week in every council throughout the jurisdiction. The change proposed is the dropping of the word Mechanics" so that the organization shall hereafter be known as Order of United Americans. It is believed that the membership is generally favorable to the change. The matter has been discussed somewhat in the New Haven lodges.

He opens broadly by declaring: ftThe war has been over more than twenty years and we want peace in it's full length. height and breadth all over the land No man should be opposed for his service in the rebellion if otherwise qualified for the position He seeks more reasonable ground of objection and finds it as follows:
 The great objection to his appointment and con firmation for place in the highest court of the United States is that, though he is man of fine ability he is not lawyer enough for the place. He has not been practicing lawyer judge for the last thirtythre years. and he never was judge of any S

The report of State Treasurer Warner, made up to June 30, is new out. It is six months old in it's facts (a whole years rail- road taxes have been gathered in since then), but it is the latest official statement, and it is good one.

The funded debt of the State July was 8, ,230, 500, but, less the civil list funds, the entire debt is but about $3,740,000. The net debt has decreased $500, 729 during the year. It decreased about the same amount the year before, and shows day.

CONTINUING IN SESSION.
American NaturaIists at the Peabody
 NTuaomm.

 Museum.
 Yesterday morning members of the Ameri- can Society of Naturalists convened again at Peabody museum. Professor Alexander Win chell of Ann Arbor read a paper on stScienee Teaching in the Schools" He thought that
 special instructions in geology and mine
 ralogy should be given in the public schools;
 he showed the importance of instructing
 scholars when quite young in the fundamen-
 tai principles of these two studies. He thought that not enough attention was paid
 to these subjects in the institutions of learn ing in this and other New England cities. Boys and girls should take up the two studies when twelve or fourteen years of age. They could learn enough to make them in terested in the subjects, even if they didn't master them at that age The scholars of the Ann Arbor schools are instructed in these studies and the amount of knowledge they have thus derived is truly wonderful. The student could get some elementary knowledge in the class room and when in the open air he was constantly reminded of what he had read and studied about. No one could be in the open air without being interested i'll some mineral specimens In this way the mind
 was kept in constant action, and therefore time was not wasted as is the case of those
 who know nothing or these studies.
 The discussion on the paper was opened by Professor w. H. Brewer. He thought the student of twelve or fourteen years of age not advanced enough mentally to compre-
 bend much about these two studies. Pro- lessor Dana was next to speak. He agreed with all that Professor Winchell had said, for while he was very young he gained his first knowledge of these subjects. Furthermore, he was of the opinion that the instructing students in but few studies made narrow minded men. It was best to teach schol- ars little of everything. In this way they would get more extensive knowledge, and later in life, if they chose, they could take up as specially some particular study. Principal James D. Whitmore of the Hill house High school with pleasure endorsed what Professors Winehell and Dana had said. He did not agree with the com mon remark of educated men that students with only smat- tering of knowledge did not amount to any, thing. His experience had taught him that student could not undertake too much in the way of securing knowledge. He always instructed his scholars to learn all they could of all subjects. He thought that special at tention should be paid to the teaching of scientific subjects in the High school and al-
 so in the graded schools of this city. When the students in these schools grow up and go
 out in the world they will find that the little
 knowledge they gained upon the subjects
 studied during their school days will be of
 great value to them.
 At the afternoon session papers were read
 by Prof. George Macloskis of Princeton, Prof.
 William North Rice of Wesleyan and Prof. Ramsey Wright of Toronto. The savants will continue in session to-day.
